Appearances[edit]
In Naruto[edit]
Kakashi Hatake is introduced as the leader in charge of Team 7, a new ninja team
including Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. He first appears as a carefree
character as he tends to lose track of time, and is frequently late to his appointments as a
result.[17]However, when testing his students, Kakashi reveals himself as a strong opponent to the
point he fights while reading Make Out ( Icha Icha) series of erotic
novels.[18] Kakashi is revealed to be very famous in the Naruto world, earning him
the moniker "Kakashi of the Sharingan" ( Sharingan no Kakashi) for possessing
the Sharingan, gaining it from a member of the Uchiha clan he was friends with. It grants him the
ability to mimic the movements and jutsu of others.[19][20] Although most of Kakashi's abilities were
acquired with his Sharingan, he also invented the Chidori and its Lightning Blade variation, a
collection of lightning chakra in one's hand that uses the Sharingan's visual ability to lock onto a
target.[21] When first forming Team 7, Kakashi does not turn them into his students until instilling
in them the concept of teamwork even if they have to break the rules he gave them.[22] Kakashi
continues to further this philosophy for the duration of Part I upon Sasuke Uchiha but is unable to
get through to him before the latter's defection from Konoha.[23] Kakashi also reluctantly
participates in various kinds of challenges by his childhood friend Might Guy who considers
Kakashi his rival.
Kakashi's background is explored in Kakashi Gaiden, a six chapter series that divides the gap
between Part I and II of the manga. Following his father's suicide, Sakumo Hatake aka the White
Fang, Kakashi adopted the philosophy that the success of a mission must always come first
rather than comrades in contrast to his father.[24] Kakashi is assigned by his teacher, Minato
Namikaze, to lead a mission that would turn the current war in Konoha's favor.[25] When his
teammate, Rin Nohara, is captured by enemy ninja, his other teammate, Obito Uchiha, convinces
him to rescue her despite the mission's ending.[26][27] After finding Rin, an enemy-induced cave-in
crushed Obito's right half. With his dying wish and the possibility of enemy reinforcements, Obito
has Rin implant his newly acquired Sharingan into Kakashi's recently damaged eye socket as a
parting gift.[28] His new eye in place, Kakashi flees with Rin as the cave collapsed, eventually
completing their mission.[29] Shortly after this event, Kakashi has to rescue Rin again who is
kidnapped by Kirigakure; however, he learns that the Kiri, under the influence of Madara Uchiha,
has made Rin as the host of the Three Tails, Isobu. Rin requests Kakashi to kill her so she may
not be used by the Hidden Mist ninja as part of a Trojan Horse scheme against Konoha, but
Kakashi is reluctant. She eventually forces herself on the way of Kakashi's Lightning Blade that
he originally directed at the pursuing Hidden Mist ninja, killing her. An anime exclusive flashback
arc in Naruto Shippuden covered Kakashi coping with what he endured during the war as he
becomes an ANBU operative during Minato's time as Hokage and influences Yamato into
becoming a member of the ANBU as well. Once relieved of duty in the ANBU, Kakashi becomes
a Genin instructor prior to the events of Part I.
Two-and-a-half years later in Part II, Kakashi reforms Team 7.[30] During the gap in time, Kakashi
hones the Mangekyo Sharingan that he gained from result of Rin's death to master the Kamui
ability that allows him to send any targeted object to another dimension.[31] Because his students
are now capable of taking care of themselves, Kakashi takes a more active role in the battles that
go on during the series, particularly those with the criminal organization Akatsuki.[32] When the
Akatsuki leader, Pain, invades Konoha, Kakashi engages him in battle but he dies as a result of
forcing all his energy.[33] However, after his confrontation with Naruto, Pain decides to use all of
his remaining power to revive all those killed in the battle at Konoha, including
Kakashi.[34] Following a brief encounter with Tobi, the Akatsuki's true leader, Kakashi becomes
one of the generals to participate in the war against Tobi's army.[35] As Naruto and Killer
Bee continue to battle against Tobi and his forces, Kakashi and Guy arrive to join the fight
against Tobi. During the encounter, Kakashi learns that Tobi is Obito, who in fact had survived
his apparent death and had committed horrible deeds since Rin's death to destroy the world
order that allowed their friend's demise to occur with Kakashi being left greatly stunned and also
horrified at Obito's actions.[36] Despite the guilt for what Obito has become, Kakashi is
encouraged by Naruto to continue fighting and the battle ends with Kakashi managing to impale
Obito.[37] When Naruto is nearly killed by Madara, Kakashi and a redeemed Obito joined forces to
protect Naruto by spiriting him off into the latter's dimension to be healed. After losing his
Sharingan, Naruto using his new-found abilities to restore his original eye, Kakashi finds himself
temporarily infused by the chakra-based spirit of Obito as he gains his friend's full Sharingan
abilities and a Susanoo to help his team defeat Kaguya. Kakashi Hatake is the commander of the
third battle unit in fourth great ninja war. Following the conclusion of the war, Kakashi is named
by Tsunade as her successor, the Sixth Hokage, with his first act being to pardon Sasuke for his
crimes.[38] He holds this title for many years before finally passing it to Naruto, as revealed in the
epilogue.[39]
Appearances in other media[edit]
Kakashi has made appearances outside of the Naruto anime and manga. He is in ten of the
feature films in the series: in the first movie he battles Nadare Rouga and later defeats him,[40] in
the third Kakashi battles the hired ninja Ishidate, whom he fights to a standstill, and he later acts
as a distraction for his team by battling the minister Shabadaba's soldiers,[41] in the fourth Kakashi
fights against a large group of stone soldiers,[42] in the fifth, Kakashi is sent alongside Shikamaru
Nara, Sai, and Shino Aburame to investigate the base of the Sky Country,[43] in the sixth, when
the threat of war loom over Konoha from the other ninja villages, Kakashi is sent on a suicide
mission to defeat a rogue ninja named Hiruko who wants his Sharingan, however, Naruto and
Sakura ultimately prevent their teacher from throwing his life away,[44] in the seventh movie, in
which a younger Kakashi is a member of a team composed of himself, Minato, Shibi Aburame
and Chza Akimichi to stop Anrokuzan with the help of a time displaced Naruto.[45] In the eighth,
he serves as part of the plan to lock Naruto in prison before subsequently helping to break him
out, and in the ninth, an alternate version of him with an identical appearance to Guy is shown, to
Sakura's dismay. Canonically, in the tenth, he appears as the Sixth Hokage, helping the village
while Naruto is away, and in the eleventh he makes a cameo appearance waking up a drowsy
Naruto (who is now the Seventh Hokage) shadow clone by tapping him on the head with a book.
Kakashi is also present in all four of the original video animations produced for the series, helping
Naruto and Konohamaru Sarutobi to find a four leaf clover in the first original video
animation,[46] joining his team in escorting a ninja named Shibuki to his village in the
second,[46] participating in a tournament in the third,[47] and working with Team 7 in the fourth
one.[48] A light novel titled Kakashi Hiden: Lightning in the Icy Sky, written by Akira Higashiyama
and illustrated by Kishimoto, focuses on the early days of Kakashi's appointment as the Sixth
Hokage, in which he has to stop a terror plan conducted by a pair of Kirigakure ninja, who plan to
take control of a newly unveiled airborne ship to stage a jailbreak of a notorious criminal, in the
process learning about the pair's tragic reason for doing so.[49]
Kakashi is a playable character in all Naruto video games, including the Clash of Ninja series and
the Ultimate Ninja series.[50][51][52] In some games, he is able to use his Sharingan in combat, often
as a different character with the ability activated, and in other games, he is available in his ANBU
attire.[53] An upcoming light novel titled Kakashi Hiden will focus on the character.[49]
Reception[edit]
Kakashi has ranked within the top five characters in every official Weekly Shnen
Jump popularity poll, acquiring the first position, as the most popular character, several
times.[54] In the most recent poll, he ranked third, with Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha
acquiring the top two positions.[55] There has not been another official poll since the poll as of
2006. In the Anime Awards 2006 from About.com, Kakashi won in the category "Best Supporting
Male Character".[56] He was also a nominee during the first "Nickelodeon Magazine Comics
Awards" in the category "Best Hair in Comics", losing to Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.[57] In
an Oricon poll of "manga master", Kakashi was third with 8.4% of the votes.[58]Merchandise
based on Kakashi's character has also been released, including plush dolls,[59][60] key
chains,[61][62] and a limited edition figurine.[63]
Several publications for manga, anime, video games, and other related media have provided
praise and criticism on Kakashi's character. Christopher A. Born regards Kakashi's teaching of
Team 7 to work as a team, even if they have to break the rules, to be reinforcing the Confucian
values of the "importance of benevolence and reciprocity".[64] IGN noted the duality of Kakashi's
serious persona in combat and his laid back, apathetic countenance when dealing with his
students, but accepted that he is one of the most popular characters in the series.[65] They also
commented that Kakashi is one of the more popular characters they have seen cosplayed at
anime conventions.[65] Active Anime celebrated Kakashi's abilities, noting that he fell into the
overall theme of characters hiding detailed personalities and secrets.[66] T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews
derided Kakashi as a stereotypical "Man of Mystery" seen in other shnen manga, but praised
him as being "much more interesting" than the three main characters, and felt that for all intents
and purposes, the show could be renamed simply "Kakashi".[67] Mania Entertainment's Dani
Moure likes how Kakashi fits into Team 7 because he is a "hilarious character in that sometimes
he doesn't seem all that bothered about things and yet is so masterful of his craft."[68] Chris
Beveridge from the site stated that Kakashi is his favorite character from the series because of
his personality and praised his fight against Pain, and that after its ending, the character gets "a
very humanizing moment", making the episode from the battle stand out.[69] Manga
author Yoshihiro Togashi found Kakashi's first battle against his students as one of the first
series' moments that impressed him due to how the difference in strength between such
characters was shown by just making Kakashi read a book during the fight.[70] IGN ranked him as
the 15th greatest anime character of all time, saying that "He's a complex character, with an
iconic character design and a laid back attitude that just exudes cool."[71] Amy McNulty
from Anime News Network highly praised Kakashi's fight against Obito Uchiha due to its
animation and the references to the two fighters' childhoods.[72] In 2014, IGN listed him as the
best Naruto character when the series ended.[73]
